CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Mommy & Me

Dancers at a young age are encouraged to listen and follow directions through movement, rhythm and music. Guardians are with dancers to interact through class, with the goal of dancers being able to come into class at the end of the year by themselves.

Little Dancers Ballet/Tap

Little Dancer classes offer dancers two classes in one to better expand their knowledge of dance vocabulary. Each class begins with 25 minutes of ballet and finishes with 20 minutes of tap. Dancers will perform both styles of dance in the recital.

Basic Ballet/Tap

Basic classes are for the experienced little dancer. Dancers are now in a 60 minute class in which they will learn ballet and tap. The focus and attention span has lengthened and students expand their dance vocabulary to understanding skill, formations, and technical terms.

Tumble Tots

A basic intro class to dancers interested in tactical movement. The range of body motion and strength is introduced to young tumblers on mats and apparatus. Tumblers will focus on balance, core strength and coordination.

Teen Classes

Not all dancers start at a young age. Intro classes give those dancers who have found a passion for dance at a later age start in an age appropriate class with other students increasing their knowledge at a faster pace.

Jumps and Turns

Improve your technique and learn the skills required to perform jumps, turns, leaps and tricks used in styles such as ballet, jazz and contemporary. This is a technique only class.

Broadway Jazz

Love upbeat Musical Theater? Broadway jazz will utilize popular Musical Theater songs seen and hear on Broadway. Dancers will learn not only to use their technique, but become characters performing on stage.

Contemporary Jazz

This class takes contemporary and jazz and fuses them together to create out of the box shapes and movement phrases. Dancers will focus on learning how to take their basic jazz technique and explore where else the body can take us while still utilizing the years of jazz technique that has been used as a base.

Poms

Dancers will learn sharp motions, turns and jumps in this upbeat class. Poms is a mix between Cheer motions and dance tricks. Strength and stamina come in handy in this multi-task class!

Hip Hop

Hip Hop blends street style with commercial dance to upbeat and sometimes musically challenging music. Dancers will learn to move and absorb the beat of the music they listen to. This is also a great class for the dancer looking to get out of their shell and show off their dance skills in their everyday social setting!

Open Classes

Open level classes are available for students of ages 6 and up, in any level to register for. These classes are great make-up classes and classes for the student in between levels or wanting an additional class of a style they are currently enrolled in.
